Free Tulsa Music Festival

It was a hot day today. There were heat warnings out for this day. Around 3 pm, I arrived at the Free Tulsa Music Festival. Kenny had already erected the two tent canopies. One was for the Tulsa Atheists and the other was for the Humanist Association of Tulsa. During the time I was there (about five hours), there were always about a half dozen people from our group there.

I took some pictures, and I might post some later.

Kenny went to Home Depot and bought a light for use after dark. When he came back he brought three boxes of pizza and a three liter Coke which he shared with the group. Kenny works as a flight attendant for American Airlines and flew back in to Tulsa just in time for today's event.

Across from where we were set up was an exhibit of a two-headed turtle. You pay a dollar and you get to see the turtle. If you paid five dollars, you could have your picture taken with an alligator. Bill Dusenberry came up with a great idea. Have your picture taken with an atheist for five dollars. Kenny had with him a baseball cap with horns. He sat in a chair in front of the table as Bill would ask passersby if they would like to have their picture taken with an atheist for five dollars. Most people laughed when asked if they would like to pay five dollars to have their picture taken with an atheist. Eventually we dropped the monetary request and just asked people if they would like to have their picture taken with an atheist. A few said yes.

Although it was hot, we had a lot of fun out there today.
